Used by generations of New England gardeners, Cape Cod Weeders slice weeds just below the soil line and are great for working in tight spaces. Our Gardener’s Lifetime Cape Cod Weeder is hand-forged in Holland from the finest high-carbon Swedish boron steel with a pointed, self-sharpening tip. Unlike flimsy tools that are stamped from thin stainless steel, this weeder is ready for a lifetime of use by serious gardeners. To give it extra strength and durability, a 4" metal tang extends into the handle, which is securely fastened with a welded socket. The handle is made of sustainably grown European ash hardwood. Gardener’s Lifetime Tools are handmade for us by a fourth-generation, family-owned business that has been crafting fine gardening tools for more than a century.

I am always learning new tricks while I am gardening, and this is a Great one. I have a 10' x 15' plot in a Community Garden.

I have never minded weeding, it can be done in a meditative manner and be calming. However there are always many chores to get done so time does matter. Weeding with this tool goes amazingly fast. I work up the soil and it feels like the weeds cannot wait to come out. It keeps the soil nice and loose and my plants have all the room they need to grow.

After breaking my back in three place and pelvis in 6+ places I was told I would be paralyzed for the rest of my life. They placed to rods in my back and once I woke up I haven't stopped moving. I went to school and received my Master Gardner Cert. and have been working at this level ever since. This helps me and makes my life and job easier.

I live in SE TX and had to remove some overgrown weeds (nutgrass, crabgrass, widow's tears) and some St. Augustine grass that had started send runners into a border area. This tool did a great job getting underneath the surface of the dirt to better extract these difficult to pull weeds. It also helped to remove some canna rhizomes from an area where they were no longer wanted. Without this weeder, my weeding would have taken twice as long and would not have been as effective in removing most of the roots of the weeds and unwanted plants.

I have used this all summer. It makes weeding the flower beds much easier. The only issue I have is it is one directional. I thought about buying the left handed one for certain occasions but I have been able to adapt the angle on the right handed one so far.

I have been gardening over 30 years and this is the one tool I reach for most whenever I go out to garden. It is great for digging out weed roots, but by using the sideways motion you can weed right up to the plant without harming the plant roots. I also use it to loosen soil around plants and to dig holes to plant small plants that don't require a shovel. I always have two or three on hand in case I happen to lose it as I have in the past. The one recommendation I would have to improve it is to paint the handle orange!

I have many weeders and this is my favorite. The curved blade is perfect for hooking and slicing the roots below the soil. I also use it for loosening soil in planting holes. It's so lightweight that I can use it for an extended amount of time without fatigue.
